SL(4)                      BSD Programmer's Manual                       SL(4)

NAME

     sl - slip network interface

SYNOPSIS

     pseudo-device sl [count]

DESCRIPTION

     The sl interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces us-
     ing the slip protocol.

     An sl interface can be created at runtime using the ifconfig slN create
     command or by setting up a hostname.if(5) configuration file for
     netstart(8).

     The sl interface can use Van Jacobson TCP header compression and ICMP
     filtering.

DIAGNOSTICS

     sl%d: af%d not supported.  The interface was handed a message with ad-
     dresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
     dropped.
